Bootstrapped, Ultra-Light, and Other Startup Euphemisms

A few weeks ago, I touched on some of the differences between the Boston and New York tech startup scenes. Here's another: jargon. For whatever reason--more historically complex/serious/enterprise-focused industries, more of an "every man is his own island" attitude--in Boston, tech entrepreneurs tend to use everyday language. Not so in New York, and from the scant time I've spent there, not so in Silicon Valley either. In these two tech towns, euphemisms rule. Cracking the code took me a little while, but thanks to a handfuloftechblogs and Eric Ries' The Lean Startup, I think I've got it down. Disagree with any of my definitions/want to add a few of your own? Get @ me or leave 'em in the comments!
